Final Environmental Assessment for Renovating and Remodeling the Bravo Central and Charlie Flank Towers at Avon Park Air Force Range, Florida

Author(s): Environmental Flight

Year: 2004

Summary

The Bravo Central and Charlie Flank Towers score air-to-ground deliveries of ordnance on bombing and gunnery ranges. In addition to routine maintenance, one or more of the towers have their handrails, roofs, windows, and catwalk walking surfaces replaced. Doors and catwalks are added to the Charlie Flank Towers while the window awnings are replaced. All of the towers’ interiors are remodeled to house new electronic equipment. The Florida State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) concurs with APAFR in that all three towers appear to meet the criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.
